## Commentary

Logogram *322 on the Khania roundels KH Wc 2026, 2027 and 2098, alone, with no numeral: a commodity, read as fruit, Heb. pərî 'fruit' (HALOT 967). The roundel sign faintly resembles Linear B *158 (Schoep 2002, 91). HT 11a *322-RI is another sign (GORILA I 23; III 124, 141). Weak point: a logogram has no spelling, so nothing in the script carries pir-. Three attestations.
